Petzl Attache Screw Gate Carabiner

The Petzl Attache Screw Gate Carabiner is a versatile tool designed for various belaying tasks. Its compact shape, combined with the SCREW - LOCK locking system, makes it perfect for connecting a belay system to a harness or belaying with a Munter hitch. The H - shaped cross - section not only reduces weight but also offers an excellent strength - to - weight ratio. The wider contact surfaces ensure smooth rope glide and minimize wear on the carabiner. It's easy to use with a SCREW - LOCK locking sleeve for good handling and reliable locking. A visual indicator helps you quickly check if the carabiner is locked. The nose and Keylock system prevent snagging during maneuvers. The carabiner is also designed to ensure proper positioning of the belay device and has a shape that allows for easy tying and untying of a clove hitch. Here are its key specs: Weight - 56 g, Locking system - SCREW - LOCK, Major axis strength - 22 kN, Minor axis strength - 7 kN, Open gate strength - 6 kN, Gate opening - 24 mm.

Using the Petzl Attache Screw Gate Carabiner is quite straightforward. First, when you want to attach it to a harness or a belay system, simply unscrew the locking sleeve. Once the gate is open, place it around the object you want to connect to, like a loop on your harness. Then, close the gate and screw the locking sleeve back on until it's tight. You can easily check if it's locked by looking at the visual indicator. When using it for belaying, make sure the rope runs smoothly through the carabiner. The design is made to help with this. For tying a clove hitch, the shape of the carabiner allows for easy manipulation. As for maintenance, after each use, check the carabiner for any signs of wear or damage, especially around the gate and the locking mechanism. If you notice any cracks or excessive wear, stop using it immediately. Clean it regularly with a mild soap and water, and dry it thoroughly. Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures, as this can affect its strength and durability.
